Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon offers softer light for photos and calmer crowds, especially in summer months. Visiting outside July and August ensures a quieter experience.
Budget tips
Beach access is free year-round; parking nearby costs around 5 euros per day. Bringing your own snacks saves money since local stands can be pricey during peak season.
